At the same time, an extremely clear message quietly flashed through the contract assistance system——
[Shadow Nightmare (mutated/sub-elite), adult, life 78, power: silver, defense:?Skill?]
Most people may not be able to directly see the origin of the shadow, but Dulan has his own visual inspection skills and contract assistance system, and he can quickly see the true identity of the other party.
"Shadow Nightmare? No, I've seen the appearance of Shadow Nightmare in books, but it doesn't look like this." Hearing Duran's affirmative words, Erica couldn't help but murmured in a low voice and looked at Duran with some doubts.
.
The shadow was silent.
Duran smiled softly: "The shapes of shadow nightmares are similar to ordinary nightmares. Most of them have the appearance of heavy war horses with special horns on their heads. But this Mr. Shadow Nightmare is slightly different from his compatriots.
For some unknown reason, he may have mutated."
Dulan's words are not unfounded. In this world filled with magic, the birth of many miracles is not as difficult as most people imagine. Many monsters may turn into human appearances, which does not mean that they are
It is powerful, or it may be caused by a curse or witchcraft, or it may be caused by drinking some strange potion.
"Ah, I remembered that some shadow springs occasionally appear in the shadow plane. Legend has it that shadow creatures who drink this spring water will gain incredible abilities, but their bodies will also undergo earth-shaking changes..."
Erica suddenly realized that as an orthodox White Tower wizard, her foundation was extremely solid, and she had dabbled in many rare knowledges.
"That's enough!" Shadow Nightmare roared violently: "Your chat sounds very boring to me. Since you are not interested in cooperating with me, I must first show you how powerful I am!"
"Sir, I'll do it." Simodo raised his giant sword and said eagerly.
Dulan smiled and shook his head: "No, Simo, I need you to protect them. He is very fast, and only you standing here can be a sufficient deterrent to him."
"But..." Simodo looked at Duran hesitantly.
Dulan smiled hoarsely: "Don't forget, I have been training there for more than half a year."
Simodo nodded. Only he knew about Duran's training in the Shadow Thieves training base, so the mercenary man placed the giant sword in his hand in front of everyone, staring at the Shadow Nightmare with his eyes, like a hungry head.
Like a thirsty tiger.
Even the usually fierce Shadow Nightmare seemed a little afraid when facing Simodo, while Kate said with some worry: "Dulan, you may need a little help."
Tiepi immediately agreed and said, "Yes, master. I have been struggling with him for a long time. This guy is as slippery as a loach in a stinking ditch. I can't catch him no matter what."
Shadow Nightmare roared, and the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from the place, and suddenly appeared in front of Tiepi.
"Hey, your opponent is me!" Duran made an accurate prediction, and steadily sent out the long sword in his hand, forcing the Shadow Nightmare back in one step.
He put down Abu casually, and then threw a few low-light candles to everyone - anyway, he didn't buy these candles with his own money, but got them from the wizard's tower. Duran didn't feel bad at all when using them:
"Light these candles. The shadow creature is good at taking advantage of any place where there is shadow, so his attacks are so mysterious. Give him a little light, and he won't be so arrogant."
Everyone immediately lit a few low-light candles according to Dulan's instructions, and large swaths of light spread out, illuminating the area around everyone very brightly in the narrow slit. The occasional shadows also became very faint,
Shadow Nightmare's movements were immediately severely restricted.
Dulan's swordsmanship cannot be said to be amazing, but the victory is stable. With his level 19 strength at this time, it is reasonable to say that it is difficult to deal with such an opponent, but long-term training has produced excellent results, and Dulan will become a long-term swordsman.
The sword was swung impenetrably, and from time to time it would strike a few unexpectedly, and even make the Shadow Nightmare break into a cold sweat.
The opponent's speed was still very fast, but Dulan was well prepared and defended more than he attacked, and the situation immediately became very stalemate.
"Your speed is not as fast as I thought." Duran said sarcastically, "I thought the mutated shadow nightmare could be very powerful."
Shadow Nightmare snorted coldly, and his offensive became sharper. His long nails struck Dulan's long sword, making a clanking sound. His face gradually became impatient, and his hands moved faster.
A few points. However, Duran has always been as steady as a mountain. Facing the attack of the Shadow Nightmare, he protected himself unhurriedly. Because of Simodo, he did not need to worry about the Shadow Nightmare sneaking up on Erica and the others.
-If he really did this, the mercenary man would give him an unforgettable chop.
"His swordsmanship is simply too exquisite." Erica exclaimed: "Perhaps the word "exquisite" cannot accurately describe, well, yes, the swordsmanship itself is not that exquisite, it is probably just some basic entry-level swordsmanship. But the person who uses the sword
He seems very familiar with this kind of swordsmanship. I mean, Dulan is like a real veteran. But he is still so young..."
Erica had not had much contact with Duran before, so she was just surprised by Duran's performance. However, Kate knew Duran quite well and knew that just a few days ago, this guy didn't even know how to use a sword.
Exactly what a rookie!
"Why did Duran grow up so fast? What made him change so much?" Kate breathed quickly, and the words "Tower of Shadows" began to appear in his mind. "Did he really find the Tower of Shadows?
Tower, has obtained the inheritance of Master Rui Wenjin? But no matter how powerful the inheritance is, it will not change a person in a few days?"
Kate was filled with doubts. If Dulan had vowed to kill Andrew before to avenge Mr. Qiu, she thought it was a reckless decision made by a teenager who had lost an important relative. However, now, she saw that Dulan had changed so much.
After such changes, Kate gradually became convinced that Duran might have killed Andrew.
Shadow Nightmare struggled with Dulan for a long time and became extremely irritable, but as a mutated shadow creature, his abilities were actually ordinary. Apart from some of the most basic shadow spells, he relied on speed to win. At the moment, Dulan
Lan ordered everyone to light the candles. The light greatly restricted his movements and made his movements much slower. On the other hand, Duran's agility and perception were also extremely high, almost equivalent to the level of silver power.
Okay. High perception can predict Shadow Nightmare's movements calmly, and high agility can react more accurately. The combination of the two will greatly reduce Shadow Nightmare's attacks.
"Looks like we need to use some other method." Shadow Nightmare made up his mind, and his shadow suddenly retreated, drifting back about twenty feet.
A strange muttering sounded from the darkness. Upon hearing this sound, the little fairy Lulu immediately reminded: "This is his spell, the shadow spell!"
Erica also hurriedly shouted: "Be careful..."
Before she could finish her words, two shadowy snakes suddenly emerged from under Dulan's feet. The speed of the snakes was frightening, and they immediately entangled Dulan's feet.
Another snake followed his knees and jumped up to his waist, trying to tie up his arms.
"No, I'm afraid Dulan needs our help!" Kate was about to step out, but was held back by a big hand.
Simodo smiled honestly: "Madam, please don't worry, I'm afraid my abilities are much stronger than you think..."
"Huh?" Kate was a little confused. Could it be that the benefits Duran got in the Tower of Shadows were far beyond what she had seen so far?
So she set her sights on Dulan again.
Facing the strange sneak attacks of the two snakes, Dulan remained calm. He immediately threw away his sword and grabbed one of the shadows with both hands. The clinker snake was smoother than Dulan imagined.
, unexpectedly slipped out of his hand with a flick of his body. Dulan failed to hold the snake's head, but only held its body.
"But it doesn't matter, the result is the same anyway." Dulan didn't care. The restraining force from his feet made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he no longer hesitated and pressed his palms tightly against the snake's body - [Fire Tongue Technique]
】!
The Flame King's talent is no joke. Fire Tongue is not a spell but Duran's natural skill. He does not need to recite a spell or gesture, he can use it with just a thought. Red flames spurt out, and everyone is stunned.
In his eyes, the flames seemed to have spiritual power as they bypassed Dulan's clothes and burned the two shadow snakes to ashes.
"Wow, the big bad guy can also breathe fire!" The two little goblins cheered.
"This, how is this possible!" Kate and Erica looked at each other, both of them seeing deep shock in each other's eyes!
Dulan is not a mage or a warlock, how could he control fire in the palm of his hand so easily?
Equally frightened was the Shadow Nightmare. He was so frightened that he was hiding in the dark cracks. Shadow creatures were most afraid of flames and light. Dulan's move undoubtedly made him feel the threat of life and death.
But just when he had the intention to retreat and wanted to escape, Dulan's cold voice rang out: "I'm sorry, Mr. Nightmare, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter Feinan Continent to harm living beings..."
With a whoosh, the three crossbow arrows shot out in unison, accidentally nailing Shadow Nightmare to the narrow crack in the stone wall. Shadow Nightmare struggled painfully, and in his peripheral vision he saw a faint triangular glow emitting from the tails of the three crossbow arrows.
——This is the trace of the Holy Light Spell!
The assassin's crossbow that had been hidden in his sleeve was calmly held by Duran in his hand, who smiled and said: "Because your life is about to end here."
